Most Champagnat Hall residents
should get telephones in their
rooms next month, according to
Carl Gerberich, vice president for
information services.

will
bring
phone service to 175 rooms in
Champagnat when conduits are in-
stalled to carry phone wires from
Donnelly Hall to the dorm.
Gerberich said he hopes to have the
service available in five weeks.
TechnicaJ restrictions prevent the
entire dorm, which has about 225
rooms, from receiving phones.
Sophomores, who occupy 177
rooms, will be offeted phone ser-
vice first. Leftover lines will be of-
fered to freshmen on a first-come,
first-served basis, according to
Steve Sansola, director of housing.
Gerberich said he doesn't know
when the rest of Champagnat or.
the other dorms will receive
phones. Rapid growth on Route 9
has truced New York Telephone's
ability to meet the demand for
telephone service, Gerberich said.
"I have talked with New York
Telephone, and I know they have
gone out of their way to help
Marist do this," Gerberich said.
Administrators hoped to bring
phones to Champagnat rooms
before school started, but other
construction projects over the sum-
mer delayed the service, Gerberich·
said.
Work continues on the installa-
tion of six conduits between the
switchbox in the Donnelly Hall
basement and Champagnat. The
conduits enter each building via
J~ge concrete pool boxes, which
the college recently installed.

This action comes as a follow
up to the issuing of parking

giving since the beginning of the
semester.
Leary said the towing of cars

DOnnelly facelift
starts this-month
by .Paul O'Sullivan
After being delayed by work on
Champagnat Hall, the million-
dollar renovation of Donnelly Hall
will begin this month, said college
officials.
Mark Sullivan, executive vice
president, said the project would be
done in three phases, with comple-
tion tentatively scheduled for the
•
fall
1989.
semester, costing an
estimated $2.5 million.
The frrst phase of the project in-
volves changes in the exterior of the
building. An outside wall will be
.
constructed,. starting at the north
entrance across from Marian Hall
.
and working clockwise around the
building. The current window wall
will be replaced with energy-
efficient Thermo_paoe
windows and
insulated panels.
Phase two, scheduled to begin
this winter and extend into the
summer, will include the installa-
tion of a new heating, ventilation
and air-conditioning system.
The final phase of construction
will consist of the removal of the
old exterior wall and the comple-
tion of th«l inside. Specific
im-
provements
planned
for the
building include improved access
for the handicapped,
a new
greenhouse window and a lounge.
The contractor will notify college
officials at least 10 days in advance
of construction on a certain section
of the building, and teachers will
have the option of moving their
classes, Sullivan.said. Classes can
be relocated to the Campus Center,
The Library or the Lowell Thomas

Sullivan said Marist is pleased
with the work done on the

complete. Thermoglaze and Marist

The renovations will be funded
partially by a $500,000 grant from
the U.S. Department of Education.
The remainder of the cost will be
covered by grants that Marist is
seeking and by funds that the col-
lege has put aside for renovations
during recent years.
Sullivan said the construction of
a new building, as opposed to
refurbishing Donnelly, would have
cost between $7 million and $8
million.
According to Brother Richard
Rancourt, a professor of math, this
is the frrst extensive renovation of
Donnelly Hall since the building
was erected by the Marist Brothers
bet.ween 1958 and 1961.

Named for Brother -Nilus Don-

til last month, the building has
served as a library, cafeteria and
dormitory. Donnelly was director
of construction.
"There was no way they (arriv-
ing students) could get in," Ran-
court said. "The cement walkway
to ge~ into the building was still
wet. We had to ask them to come
back in two hours when the cement
was dry."

Waters steps down as VP;
Adin assumes new duties
by Michael Kinane
In a memorandum sent to members of the Marist community last week,
Prcsi_dent Dennis Murray announced the retirement of Edward Waters
from his post as vice president for admini$tration.
On Oct. 1, Waters assumed a teaching position in the division of arts
and letters. In addition to his teaching duties, Waters will work on a part-
time basis assisting Murray and Executive Vice President Mark Sullivan
on major projects the college will take part in over the· next to years.
These projects include the construction of a new dormitory and
classroom building.
Assistant Vice President Marc Adin, who previously oversaw the col-
lege's Personnel Office, will assume some duties that had been held by
Waters. Adin will report to Sullivan and will provide oversight in areas
including Security, the physical plant and personnel.
According to Murray, Waters.has played a major role in the e9nstruc-
tion of the McCann Center, the Lowell Thomas Communications Center,
the Townhouses and the Gartland Commons apartments.
Besides serving as vice president for administration, Waters has held
many positions since coming to Marist in 1967, including acting presi-
dent, vice president for administration and finance, dean of special col-
lege programs, director of Upward Bound, director of HEOP and director
of the Title III program.
Waters has served as a member of the English faculty and as chair-
man of the faculty and of the former Faculty Policy Committee.
Sullivan said.
The building is scheduled to
open in September 1990, Sullivan
said.
Administrators plan a 450-bed
sophomore dorm
-
near the tennis
courts, connected to the Campus
Center by a bridge over the road
behind Champagnat. It will cost
$6-8 million and probably will be
financed through New York State
Dormitory
Authority
bonds,
Sullivan said.
The five firms will submit pro-
posals for the dorm in a couple of
months, Sullivan said. "Hopeful-
ly, by the first of the year we'll be
in a position to select a firm and
begin negotiations with that firm,"
he said.
When construction begins on the
dorni, Marist officials will repeat
this process with the proposed
classroom building, Sullivan said.
Administrators plan to open the
new building adjacent to the Lowell
Thomas Communications Center
when the college's lease expires on
Marist East in July 1991.

Last week's reiease of the Dut-
chess County grand jury investiga-
tion in the Tawana Brawley case
met with subdued reaction and lit-
tle comment on the Marist campus.
Many people, when approached
by The Circle for their views about
the case, declined comment, while
others said that they had stopped
following the case.
In the wake of the grand jury's
•
findings, some students said they
felt relief that the turmoil may be
over.
"I think it's great, said Scott
White, a college employee and
freshman student. "It will settle a
.
lot of unrest in Poughkeepsie bet-
ween blacks and whites."
"I think it's about time," said
Kristine Scheu, a junior from
Seacliff, N.Y. "I think it (the
publicity) made things a lot worse.
Now if this ever really did happen
to someone, it's not going to get the
attention it deserves."
"It's about time they found out
the truth," said Nicole Moreau, a
junior from Lighthouse Point, Fla.
"It's
a
shame this happened
because there's a problem with
racism, but this just made things
worse."
"In the very beginning, when
things first started, she (Brawley)
should have come forward, before
the media got involved," said
sophomore Barbarella Brown of
Poughquag, N. Y.
"I
think she picked the wrong
people to represent her," said
Brown of Brawley's advisor's -
attorneys C. Vernon Mason and
Alton Maddox as well as Rev. Al
Sharpton.
Brown spoke with Sharpton at
Marist last April during the Black
Student Union's Cultural Dinner
Dance. She said she was not im-
pressed with his reasons for involv-
ing himself in the case.
"I think he just used this case to
establish himself," she said. "I just
think he caused so much trouble,
but now he's gone and the racial
tension still remains."
"(The case) gave a very bad
reputation to the Hudson Valley,"
said Mary
Kate Kenney,
a junior
from Weymouth, Mass., where she
said the investigation received con-
siderable attention. "The only peo-
ple who got anything out of this
were her and her lawyers."
"The worst part of it all was that
Sharpton, Mason and Maddox got
something out of this, but Tawana
got nothing," said Brown. "I feel
bad for her. There's no way she's
going to have a decent life with
privacy."
In its report, the special grand
jury concluded that: "Based upon
all of the evidence that has been
presented ... , ... Tawana Brawley
was not the victim of a forcible sex-
ual. assault by multiple assailants
over a four-day period. There is no
evidence that any sexual assault
•
occurred."
Through the testimony of eye
witnesses and specialists, the grand
jury was able to determine that
"there is nothing in regard to
Tawana Brawley's appearance on
November 28 that is inconsistent
with this condition having been
self-inflicted."
In addition, they found no
evidence of any attempted cover-up
by officials involved with the case.
Specifically, the grand jury report
cited the large number of person-
nel involved in the investigation,
the diversity of organizations which
took an active role and the exper-
tise of the people involved, many
of whom were trained in the in-
vestigation of sexual abuse and civil
rights violations,
as
strong evidence
against the charges of a cover-up.
Under nonnal circumstances, the
findings of a grand jury remain
sealed
from
the public, but the
charges launched by Maddox,
Mason and Brawley allowed the
grand jury to publish the 170-page
report. •
Brawley's advisors charged that

Dan serve up
a good time
by Mary Stricker
It was Thursday, 9:30 p.m. The
weekend had come and as always
my first weekend ritual was giving
me an incredible migraine. What
should this week's column be?
What did I find most entertaining
this week?
Good entertainment
should
bring the audience to their feet,
begging for more. Good entertain-
ment should give the audience
goose. bumps and it should leave
the audience with something to
think about. The answer was sim-
ple - the vice presidential debate
• -
the most entertaining event of
the week. Don't get nie wrong. I'm
not writing about politics. I'm
writing about entertainment.
What could be more entertaining
than watching Dan Quayle, whom
I dare not compare to any of his
predecessors, roasted, eaten and
spit out in disgust? The young
senator from Indiana kept· the au-
dience laughing by taking on roles
previously unknown to him. Dan
Quayle -
Mr. Environmentalist,
Mr. Social Security, Mr. Ex-
perienced and even Dan Quayle -
Mr. Kennedy.
It's obvious Dan neglected to do
what most professional actors con-
. sider essential to a good perfor-
mance. Research your role Dan.

something about the part you're
playing. It's really embarrassing

Lloyd admitted committing a
"doozy" with his $10,000-a-plate

suddenly seemed trivial when the
visions of a million Republican

It seemed only logical for the
heclders to give up on Lloyd and
aim their arrows at Drooling Dan.
Why? Because it's more entertain-
ing. It's a lot more fun to watch a
man reduced to little more than a

stand his ground refusing

Ironically, Quayle seemed to
agree that his role as sitting duck

Dan, Dan ... Dan. It's so very
kind of you to be more concerned

am most grateful for your wonder- •

one simple question. Are you real-

are you just putting us on? Dan,

The Adult Student Union at
Marist is now defunct due to lack •
of time and interest by adult
students.
This year no new officers were
nominated and no one volunteered
for them. Two of last year's of-
ficers graduated leaving only two
officers and forcing the organiza-
tion to fold, according to Carmen
Lyon, adult student and former
officer.
A school organization cannot
function with only two officers and
poor student participation, said
Lyon.
"There seems to be apathy
because of the lack of issues but
also because of the lack of time on
the adult student's part," said
Eleanor Charwat, director of the
School of Adult Education.
The 600 adult students - most-
ly part-time students -
do not •
have time to· participate in other
Marist activities because of other
commitments, such as family and
wox:k, Charwat added.
According to Charwat, adult
students now use the Adult Educa-
tion office to raise adult student
concerns because· they have no
voice on the Council of Student
Leaders. Until this year, an ASU
representative served
as
a membet
of the CSL.
But "there have been no major
issues, except for the lack of fresh
coffee in Marist East," said Char-
wat. The building's coffee shop
was replaced by a vending room
this semester.
"Adult students view their
education differently, they ap-
proach it in almost a business man-
ner," said Vicki Powell, former of-
fleer. "They generally don't want
to come back to school for a social
function."
This year's apathy can ~e .traced
back to last year when many of the
ASU-sponsored
events were
canceled.
However, the union did hold
several successful events including
a spring and fall dinner, a turkey
raffle whose proceeds went to a
charity center in Poughkeepsie and
the union's volunteer effort to help
the local Special Olympics pro-
gram. It also used the rest of its
funds last year to plant a tree on
the north si~e of the Chapel.
"Adult education at Marist is
doing an excellent job, and we
want to keep the union's spirit and
motto 'Lean On Us' alive," said
Powell.
Ballots have been senL to
faculty, staff and the ·presidents
of student clubs and classes with
the
names •
of those students
eligible for Who's Who Among
Students in American Univer-
sities and Colleges, according to
a press release issued by Vice .
President for Student Affairs
Gerard Cox.
The· criteria to be used in
selecting nominees include the
student's academic record, par-
ticipation and leadership in
academic and extracurricular
activities and potential for
future achievement.
A committee of faculty, staff
and students will review the
nominations and will recom-
mend those most representitive
of the student body, according
"-to Cox.

change but the objective is the same
j
- to provide students with a higher
education and expansion of their
knowledge so they are prepared to
face life in the workforce .
Christine Hart, an '87 graduate
from Albany,
N.Y.,
is now work-
ing as an assistant office manager
for Richard's Medical Company
and has mixed emotions about
Marist carrying out their objective.
"I
don't think Marist prepares
you for the real world in the way
of classes because they don't give
you any experience," Hart said,
"the educational opportunities of
going abroad and internships do
however prepare you for the real
world."
.

Chris Clements, from Hun-
tington, Long Island, graduated in
1986 and immediately entered the
workforce.
"Marist prepared me for
the
real
~wotld
through
internships,"
Clements said. "Not only did it
prepare me in • that way it also
prepared me in the social sense
because I learned to budget my
time and my money."
The whole experience of going
away to college helped Jim McKen-
na, a graduate of the class of 1987,
when he entered the workforce.
• "I
don't think it was Marist
specifically that prepared me for
,the.real world .. ! think it was the
whole experience of going away to
college and having to take ori a lot
of responsibility,", McKenna said.
"This really forces you to grow
up."
Alumni Weekend brings excite-
ment, not only for the alumni, but
for the students too because it is a
time to see people that you have
been out of touch with.
Colleen LeMay, a senior from
Hingham, Mass., has looked for-
ward to Alumni Weekend for the
past three years.
"I
think it's a lot of fun to see
the alumni and talk to them about
what it is like to graduate and most
of them just tell me to enjoy
my
senior year
because
it's not
much
fun in the real wo-r\d,''
LeMa-y
~d.
Andy Scarano, a junior from
Westwood, Mass., looks forward
to Alumni Weekend because he en-
joys the reunion with his former
teammates on the men's soccer
team.
•~It's great to hang out with the
guys again and nave a good time,''
Scarano said. "It's also good to
find out how they are doing." .
Many students look forward to
Alumni Weekend now, but will
they in a few years?
Maureen Blake, a senior from
Pearl River, N.Y., has enjoyed the
past three Alumni Weekends but

of their lives.
Earl Flynn, a
1986

doesn't feel that Marist prepared
him for the workforce but he did
have fun while he was here.
"Marist
classes showed • me
nothing about the real world and
I wasn't prepared at all," Flynn
said. "The one thing Marist did
teach me was that the friends you
make in college are the best friends
you're ever going to have. My

editorial
,
A
step
to() far
On September 14, 1988, the Vassar Students Association of
Vassar College chose to cut off funding for one of the college's
four student newspapers -
The Spectator.
In an issue distributed
in
early September, The Spectator engag-
ed in naming Vassar student Anthony Grate the "Hypocrite of
the Month" for anti-Semitic remarks at a reception following a
speech on Nicaragua last March.
On learning of the 'story from
a
member of the college's ad-
ministration, the VSA warned the newspaper's editor not to
distribute the paper. When the editor disobeyed the student
association's request, the funding for the remainder of the year
was cut off.
The violations cited by the VSA ranged from libelous statements
about other students to the breaking of "community rules" that
regarded the iUegality of attacking other students at the college.
• At issue here is not whether or not The Spectator printed what
. was true and factual. Rather, the issue is whether or not the
punishment the newspaper received was fair.
Is it fair that one of the student voice's at the Vassar campus
was totally shut off? At Vassar, as well as Marist, nearly 80 per-
cent of .the funds that student newspapers rely on are supplied
by the student government.
While The Circle in no way agrees with the practices or policies
of The Spectator, we become worried when we see a student
government taking such rash action against another student
newspaper.
This action cuts off the expression and exchange of ideas and
opinions between students of different ideologies and
philosophies. Isn't this exchange one of the reasons that students
choose to attend liberal arts colleges such as Vassar and Marist?
By cutting off the paper's funding, the VSA not only imping-
ed on the student journalists• right to express themselves, they
also deny the student body the opportunity to question the infor-
mation and to formulate their own ideas based on what they read.
Obviously, the printing of what is deemed libelous is wrong,
and,
if
what The Spectator printed was untrue and libelous, the
editors and staff of the paper deserve to be punished. But, should
the student government take it on themselves .to disband the
paper? This punishment is too harsh~

• a partial cut of the newspaper's funding could have been made.
But shutting the paper down takes the punishment one step too
far.
By stopping the production of The Spectator, the Vassar Stu-
dent Association shut the door on the free thought and expres-
sion that liberal arts students are supposed to have.
.
It is our sincere hope that this will be. an isolated incident.

East ownership
To the editor:
After a student was hit by a car
returning from a class at Marist
East, it was reported in The Circle
that Joseph Leary of Marist Securi-
ty stated that "Because the incident
occurred on Route 9 and not on
campus it is not a s_ecurity
matter.''
Maybe this is a crazy thought but
does this mean that Marist East is
~ff-campus? Isn't there security in
Marist East? Shouldn't the ad-
ministration be a little bit concern-
ed
that
students have to cross a
busy, main road to get to classes?
The dangers of crossing Route 9
and the possibility of constructing
a walk-way have been brought
before the administration before.
Now that someone has actually
been hurt leaving a class, I would
think that Security and the ad-
ministration would help solve the
problem, instead, they disown it.
·, What does 1t take to show the
administration of. Marist College
that if students have to cross Route
9 to get to and from class some
precautions have to be taken? I am
sure that, by now, Marist students
know how to cross the street but we
can not always depend on the
drivers .on Route 9 to be
so
cautious. Let's • do something
before it is too late.
Going to class should not be a
life-threatening situation.·

Will

in Vermont that you've just got to

• "Y.es;;Tawana:
lied and .she cost
the good people of New York more
than
$600,000
in tax money to in-
vestigate her lies.
But I have to tell you, compared
to Ruby Bates and Victoria Price,
Tawana Brawley looks more like
Joe Integrity than Joe Isuzu.
See, Ruby and Victoria did the
same kind of thing Tawana did. On
May 25, 1931, the two of them
hopped a freight train bound for
Memphis, Tenn. On the train with
them were nine male youths, ages
13 to 20.
For whatever reason, when the
train stopped, Ruby and Victoria
told police that each one of the
youths had raped them. The yo_ung
men were tied together with a
length of plowline and taken to a
town called Scottsboro.
It was there that these nine
young men got the name "The
Scottsboro Boys."
reality.
Then, ·in 1937, after the U.S.
Supreme Court had overturned the
convictions twice, an agreement
was reached. The state of Alabama
dropped the charges against four of
the defendants. The other five were
again sentenced to death or long
prison terms
•
thinking
between
the lines·
~
Even after one of the "victims"
had confessed she had lied, they
were still found guilty.
Th~ case was never really closed
until 1976 when Clarence (Willie)
Norton was granted a full pardon
after having served 15 years in jail
and 30 more as a fugitive.
Now granted, what happened •
with The Scottsboro Boys happen-
ed in a very racist place at a very
racist time. I'm glad to say that
things have gotten better.
I
will
also grant you that Tawana
and her advisors are almost
definitely lying through their teeth.
We all know that if truth were
beauty, the Rev. Al Sharpton
would' look exactly like he does
ri~ht now.
But when you near mm and
Maddox and Mason ranting and
ravfng about how a
biacic
cannot
get a fair trialin the state of New
York, you have to listen because it
has happened and we cannot allow
it to happen ever again.
Let's face it people: Brawley and
her cronies could never have got-
. ten as far as. they did if there wasn't
ju~t
a
little bifof truth to what.they
said. Abrams and his ·office did a
fantastic job getting to the bottom
of the case the way they did and
Brawley certainly was treated fair-
ly by the people handling the case.
But as I said; the kind of cover-up
she and her.advisors lied about has
happened before, therefore, we
cannot simply shrug off their
accusations.
•
Bottom Line: when the white
women got raped, the b~ack
s_uspects were sentenced to die,
When the black woman got raped,
no one believed her. All lied. None
of them are better than the others,
but they all should pay for what
they did and the • lives they
destroyed.
Unfortunately, Tawana,
just
like
Ruby and Victoria, will walk away
with nothing but a bunch of
newspaper clippings.
One last thought: even though
what Ruby Bates did was
despicable, she eventually owned
up to the truth.
Et tu, Tawana?
Doctors examined both women
and could find no evidence of rape.
That did not matter, though. All
nine men were convicted and
sentenced to either death or long
prison sentences.
---------Letter
policy--------
See, The Scottsboro Boys had a
little problem that Steven Pagones
did not.
They were black.
-And Ruby and Victoria had a lit-
tle advantage that Tawana did not.
They were white.
Eventually, in 1933, Ruby final-
ly spoke up and admitted that the
incident had all been a lie.
For The Scottsboro
Boys,
however, death row was still a

putting a bottle to his lips, a can to

As Jim's final act of hedonism
·
in a crazy, crazy night, he unob-
trusively woke myself and two of
my roommates up with extremely
loud James Brown screams from
our delightful prime picked spot on
the living room floor amongst a
hundred empties. Jim then pro-
ceeded to urinate on the wall of his
apartment to our applause and
laughter.
Jim is crazy. Wen, I thought he
was anyway. He came up and liv-
ed with us for a week last year driv-
ing one of my partners in crime ab-
solutely bananas.
However, this is all pretty much
besides the point. What I'm saying
here is that Jim used to be the man
who hauded you a Bud as you step-
ped out of bed with a Cuervo
hangover.
But Jim doesn't drink you say.
Jim doesn't drink ... anymore. He's
had his fun I guess. No, that's
wrong to say because I didn't drink
before.
OK, call me fag or wimp or
whatever you want but I probably
drank about four beers my entire
freshman year. I don't feel like a
scum. I was stealing things and
wreaking havoc right along with
•
everyone else, just in a sober sort
of way. I can scream and stumble
and fall, I can get high on life.
Sure, sometimes
l
crash down and
hurt but, hey, every dog's got his
·day.
What am I trying to say here?
Jim's a great guy and I've had so
many fun times with him. And fun
doesn't necessarily mean stealing
park benches or hiding kegs in
ovens orpassing bongs until dawn.
Hey, this stuff can be fun. It's all
what you're into.
Jim and I have had some wildly
serious talks about things we can
never know. We've joked and
laughed and had some fun. But Jim
doesn't drink you say. And I say
big deal. I guess that's my view-

I should have known the fence

Granted, it wasn't exactly the

But as I leaned back to take the
last gulps of refreshing barley, I
sensed the turtle effect was coming
on.
Seconds later, as I lie on my
back, thoughts of football games
with midgets and full body contact

raced through my head.
Naturally, I was at the Universi-

consecutive seminar for the ad-

Tears
of frustration
and
whimpers of a helpless man were
swelling in me as the wagon sped
on towards the Green M~untain

Upon arrival at the· desolate
wasteland that is Burlington, I was
whisked out of the wagon and forc-

prevails.

Grotesque and twisted visions of
drinking establishments every three
feet filled my head as intoxicated
hordes of vicious college students
piowled up and down this main
mall fax copy.
One could understand my fears
as we approached a place named
Rasputins that could only possibly
be construed as a "popular bar."
Ooh, just that word in itself
made me cringe.
I was in a daze when the
-rude
man at the door with shady
eyebrows asked me for some
identification.
I was ever so tempted to pull out
the old, trusty James Bond 007 For
Your Eyes Only - Her Majesty's
Secret Service card, but decided
that it might have a negative effect
on the mood of this man.

Vassar station
may boost signal
by
Karen Goettler
•
The Vassar College radio sta-
tion,
WVKR-FM,
has applied to
the Federal Communications Com-
mission to increase its broadcast
signal from 1,000 to 10,000 watts
- a
change that would increase its
potential audience by 750 percent.
according to station leaders.
WVKR's signal currently broad-
.
casts at 91.5 FM over a 35-mile
radim,. but other stations; such as
WAMC in New
York,
have been

director. said.
Giuffrida, a Vassar College
senior from Washington, D.C.,
said paperwork must be filed and
WVKR must be audited by the
FCC before the' application is
approved.
The application was submitted to
the FCC in May, and the process
takes approximately eight to I 0
months.
•
During the audit, FCC represen-
tatives will visit the station to check
its recordkeeping and programm-
ing, according to Giuffrida.
"It's sort of like an IRS audit,"
she said. "They're trying to catch
us off guard."

of college activities and faculty ad-

to the yearbook's poor sales last
year by enlarging the staff to 25
students and appointing seniors,
Judy Ba~r and Wendy Bender, as
co-editors.
Problems with the 1981 Reynard

were not enough pictures of senior
activities to lack of communication
with Josten's, the company in
charge of the Reynard's publica-
tion, which leaded to actual errors.

and composed type).
•
It was not the best yearbook
Marist ever had, said Yeaglin.
This year's enlarged staff will be
able to cover more activities than
last year's, allowing the co-editors
to choose from
a
wide range of
stories to be put into The Reynard.
Even with an enlarged staff and
the lessons learned from the 1987
production, sales of The 1988

Sflldents seek approval
fOr new frat on campus
by Carrie Boyle
Members of the proposed frater-
i:tity Tau Kappa Epsilon are
awaiting student government ap-
proval of their application to be
an
offic,ial campus organization.
The group submitted its by-laws
and membership list to Director of
College Activities Betty
Y
eaglin last
week. The Council of Student
Leaders is expected to act this
month.
Approval was delayed last
semester because of a mixup in-
volving the required paperwork.
Y
eaglin said she never received the
material, but members of the group
said the material was submitted to
the Office of College Activities but
later lost.
•
TKE started last semester and
reported 93 members in February.
Since then, membership has drop-
ped to 21.
According to
Y
eaglin, several
former members said they left
because the organization wasn't
moving
toward
on-campus
recognition.
However, Jay Duhamel, TKE
president, said: "Those who did
leave didn't know how much work
and money were involved and
thought it was all partying. It's
hardly any partying. The 21' who
still remain are the ones who real-
ly want it."
•
•
Yeaglin explained. that CSL ap-
proval first requires that the na-
tional by-laws of TKE must be
reviewed to make sure that they
abide by school policies.
Jeff Ferony, student body presi-
dent, said the CSL would review
TKE's plans and membership. "As
a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon,
l
would love to see another frat on
campus," Ferony said. "We need
more frats because it's
a
different
social aspect that I think people
should have the opportunity to be
a
part of."
If approved by CSJ.,,
TKE
would
become a colony of national Tl<.E
with one year to prove the group
worthy of becoming an official
chapter.

The Marist rugby club is looking

Riat feels that the problem stems

the knowledge or ability to carry
out the necessary leadership.

Step up
drug tests
by Tim Besser
It is a list that is growing. It is
a list of young athletes who have
died as a result of drugs. Add one
more name to the list that already
includes, among others~ Len Bias,
the former University of Maryland
basketball player, and Don Rogers,
former safety for the Cleveland
Browns.
Early Monday, Don Croudip,
special teams captain of the Atlanta
Falcons, died. Preliminary reports
.
suggested that he died as a result
of
a
cocaine overdose.
The Falcons say Croudip,
29,
never failed a National Football
League-administered drug test. The
Falcons say Croudip had never had
a drug problem before.
This incident brings up two
•
points: The ineffectiveness of the
NFL drug program and the impor-
tance of a strong drug-testing and
drug-education program in sports.
The NFL drug policy is a joke.
The players know it and the league
should know it by now. The first
time a player tests positive for
drugs in a urinalysis test, his team
is told and the players name is not
made public, so long
as
he receives
treatment. For a second offense the
player is suspended for 30 days and
.
must seek treatment, either
as
an
outpatient or aninpatient. For the
third offense
a
player is banned for
life,. but may seek reinstatement
after one year.

day for the . fourth of five con-
secutive roallgames after exploding
for a 42-10 victory at Siena last
Saturday.

The Red Foxes (2-2) will be look-
ing to avenge last year's 13-0 loss
to the Cadets.' The Red Foxes have
lost all fo11,r
of their games with the
Cadets.
Against Siena, Marist had three
players rush for • more than 100
yards as it overcame a three-point
halftime deficit with 35 points in
the second half.
Coach Mike Malet said he does
not think the string of road games
will hurt the Red Foxes.
"I.don't think the road will be
. as much of a factor as · Coast
Guard," he said.
"In order to beat Coast Guard,
we have got to go out and play the
whole game like we did in the se-
cond half (against Siena)," Malet
said. "They are a big, strong and.
quick team. We've got to play
super football to beat them.
"We did not play well at all in
the first half (versus Siena). In the
second half, though, they did what
they had to do."

• "Trish Webster is down with a
respiratory infection and Katie
Keenan was out this weekend,"
said Ceriello. "We have to com-
plete six meets with a full squad to
be recognized by the NCAA, and
we have already missed one."
The men rebounded from a poor
showing the week before, but the
competition was that much better.
The Lehigh Universtiy course is
a full 10,000 meters, all turf and
rugged terrain. "A true course" in
the words of Stevens. "The best
thing about the race was that it
gave our guys a chance to ex-
perience what cross country is all
about and that will help us going
into next week's New York State
Championships as well

year," said Stevens. "We ran all
freshmen and sophomores this
year, next year we won't be last."
Scott Kendall placed 126th out
of 168, with a time of 34:54. By
comparison, the winner of the
meet, a runner from Army, posted
a time of 31:18. Marist's top six
finishers all posted times within
1:25 of each other. The exception
was Mike Coakley, who sprained
his ankle.

The final numbers for the
women were: Megan Bell, 131st,

Valente, 24:10; Trevisani, 24:15;
